$0.1that doubled every day for a month
What your chart shows is compounding the sum for 30 days.

Had a teacher tell me that Buffalo wings were from actual buffaloes. That it was an underdeveloped bone structure on buffaloes. I was very young so believed her and went home and my older siblings told me how stupid I was. (I got smarter, fwiw had a full academic ride for college)
Different kind of stupid but I had a middle school teacher tell my parents she "cried herself to sleep every night because of me and my shenanigans." I wasnt that bad to begin with but don't teach teenagers if you can't deal with teenagers. That comment is just stupid to me.

That would be a weird and wrong interpretation.

There is no "sum". It's an exponential, 2 ^ 30, which if you've ever written code, you should instantly know is a little more than 1 billion.

Not exactly on topic. I took a 400 level course taught by Stephen Ambrose at UNO.
We had to buy 5 books, all written by him. Come on, man.
But he did bring in this man for a week long lecture. Hans von Luck
He said 3 weeks before the attack on Moscow his Recon unit was 5 miles from Moscow and he could see the Kremlin.
He was a Hauptmann (Captain) at the time and he begged the Generals to attack now. They refused, because Hitler set the date of the attack and would not change his mind.
He told the class in no uncertain terms, if the Central Army would've attacked at that time Moscow was their's and the Soviet counter-attack would've been destroyed to the man.
Also, von Luck said the Soviet troops used in the counter-attack were green Oriental troops, that would've been mowed down like Schafe.

Peggy Vath (Not her real name) said she would frick my brains out. Not true, my brains are still intact and remain in my skull.

Did he also explain that statue of limitations had expired and that's why he was telling you all this?

Lol. definitely a she. She also had her pic in a 1980 Hustler Beaver Hunt.
Rumor has it I took the pic. I'll work some google-fu and see what I come up with.
Found her fine, out of the statue of limitations arse.
Reason for edit; don't want Fred or Rummy to ban my dumb arse.
She's the one on the right.

I will leave this pic for 25 minutes. To not get banned and/or sued.
Rummy and Fred have mercy.
